Neuro visit

Today we got to see Mr Solanki and he was very impressed with MJ's progress. He showed us the 3 MRI scans taken of MJ during her stay at BCH. There was a lot of surface blood around the brain, particularly to the right side and back of her head. He couldn't show us the x-rays, as he didn't have them. He has given MJ a challenge. In 6 months time, he wants to see her again and has said he wants her to walk into his office without crutches.

He also told MJ that the headaches are normal, and we need not worry. He also said that the more she exercises, the more flexible she'll become, and the easier it'll be to move and walk.

Spoke with the physio today, and she said MJ will have to be fitted with a new splint, as her feet are growing and "Fred" is hurting MJ anyway. She's developed a corn (kind've like a hard blister) which will be sorted on Thursday.

Tomorrow we finally get our family portrait! Yeah!!! I can't wait to see the photo's. Wish I could have them all.
